Phone 983-5301 PARENTS NEED DRUG FACTS Ontario llealth Ministar Thomas Wells had some sage advice this week. Speaking about the drug abuse in the schools prob- lem, lhe said: "We'Il have ta get away from the scare idea. The big- gest problem is ta give parents enough information about drugs to enable them to discuss matters calmly."1 Such philosophy 'is important. It could help to deai more intelligently at the grass-root levels of the problem. There are no easy cures or shortcuts in this difficuit field. 'At the same tim e, there are some encouraging signs that.the organized fight against the use of drugs is making headway, be it ever so small. The steering committae of the new Oshawa-Whitby committee on the abuseaf drueçq is starting ta, function effectively. Some good resuits, espaci- allv in the way of more active organizations, are expccted soon. Thie Ontario Board of Education will sponsor a spec- ial daylong drug information course for 15 county teachers. The latter wiil have animportant assignment later. They, wili serve as instructors ta, others within the teachin, pro- fession so that their kniowledge wili be wideiy distributad. Thesa steps may appear ta be minimal in su-11 a vast undertaking. But they represent an important break- through. They'ré a prelude to biggar and better thing!s ta came. Timie is of the essence in implementing such courses. Tiiose who feel the drug abuse picture in schoois has been biown out of ail proportions wouid do well ta heed the adviee of Judge Harry Jermyn. Drug cases involving the 21-and-under graup lare becoming far more commonpiar- in court, lha says. Thec probiem isn't a regi.onal anc alane. It's wn-d wide. Anld, il, can'ýt be saived by negative and evasive~~- It must bie attacked head on. CAREFUL MR. STANFIELD The plight of low-incame persans ýisn'Vt easy ta janore at any time. In an era whan galioping iniflatiion cuts ri and destruictive path across the nation, thecir situatfion he),- cames mîore distur-bing than ever. Can'servative Leader Robert Stanfieid uow ný aid for iow-incarne families as an aleratve ;a1"t paper on tax reformr. 'Tha fedarai oe letsays xill ha a substantiafl tax eut for iow inicarne sr'u thie vhite paper becomes iaw. Mr. Stanfield seoffs prop)osaqi, cails it' ilusory and misi eading." ,He sav's duction oliargeiy be cancailed out by inflation ee befara it took effect. Butf Mr. Stan-fie],d's counter proposai 'is fuli e hales. it's the kind of dreamy-eyed manifesta that vi- advanced by a youthl-group ta the far iaft., People f--'~ iiider thie poverty line defined by the Economia Councîil of capaida should get a 100 par cent refund of thair faderai in- camne tax Ipaymanets, says -Mr. Stanfield.

What Mr. Stanifield doas not axpiain in conv- fashioni is where thie gvernment wauld make up -l major deficit. One of the PC leader's prima, targets is the f,-l- gaverinmeýnt's boast about the budget surplus it exnenfts. Mr. Stanfîeld estiimates it may reach $500,000,000 an(' and yet the poor wiilliea iiterally farced to 1east 65,00000in l incarna tax under the white M.Stanfield attcmpts ta create the impression sucli re.serves araeocedaway in vauits for usage at sa.- d]istantA date.
